Intel and 3Com have ethernet cards with crypto accelerators.
3Com model is 3c990, I think.

Red Creek have a PCI card with an Intel 960 plus some crypto chips.
It acts like an IPsec gateway in front of the PC.

Merilus have a firewall on a PCI card, called firecard. All it
takes from the PCI bus is power. 3 ethers: inside, wild side
and DMZ. Runs Linux on a Crusoe CPU, includes FreeS/WAN IPsec.
